Bronson Reed has been confirmed for the WarGames match as the fifth member of Solo Sikoa's Bloodline faction while his rival Seth Rollins could side with Roman Reigns. WWE veteran Jim Cornette has weighed in on whether this is the right call from a booking standpoint.
Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso asked The Visionary to join their team for the second time on RAW this past Monday, but he refused because of his history with The OTC. In the main event of the show, Solo Sikoa helped Bronson Reed defeat the former Universal Champion, which means it's possible that the latter could change his mind.
Speaking on the latest edition of the Jim Cornette Drive-Thru, the WWE veteran was asked whether Seth Rollins and the Aussie being involved in the WarGames match was the right choice.
He stated:
"Well, yes, I think Seth works because of the Roman thing and the checkered past they've had. Reed looks vaguely Samoan because he's from Australia, with I assume, some Island blood of that type over there. (...) But here's the thing, and yes, there is since it's a hot angle now that they're in this thing where it's a hot angle. I wouldn't have been bothered by four-on-four because this is the four people. (...) Unless they were going to introduce a fifth member of the heel group, to where the babyfaces had to search for someone outside the current party, I think they could have gone four-on-four and just kept it more focused," said Cornette.

Vince Russo thinks Seth Rollins was idiotic for getting distracted on WWE RAW
The Visionary was about to beat Bronson Reed for the second time, but The Bloodline's involvement cost him the match. Solo showed up on top of the announce table and caused a distraction.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo shared that Seth Rollins was an "idiot" for getting distracted by that.
"So, Solo standing on the announce table, first of all, I am talking in common man’s terms, I am not talking in wrestling terms. Seth is an absolute idiot to get distracted by a guy on the desk. Let’s look past that. So the Solo distraction is Seth’s out for losing. However, standing on a desk puts no heat on Solo Sikoa. No heat. Zero heat."
It's up to Seth Rollins now to decide whether he's going to join forces with the OG Bloodline or not. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
